Delphi Synchronized Scrolling Components

I am trying to synchronize the scrolling of two TDBGrid components in a VCL Forms application, I am having difficulty intercepting the WndProc of each grid component without any stack problems. I tried to send WM_VSCROLL messages when scrolling events, but this still leads to the wrong operation. It should work to click on the scroll bar, and also select a cell or mouse button up or down. The whole idea is that two grids next to each other display the corresponding dialog.

I tried

SendMessage( gridX.Handle, WM_VSCROLL, SB_LINEDOWN, 0 );

AND

procedure TForm1.GridXCustomWndProc( var Msg: TMessage );
begin
Msg.Result := CallWindowProc( POldWndProc, gridX.Handle, Msg.Msg, Msg.wParam, Msg.lParam );

   if ( Msg.Msg = WM_VSCROLL ) then 
   begin
      gridY.SetActiveRow( gridX.GetActiveRow );
      gridY.Perform( Msg.Msg, Msg.wParam, Msg.lParam );
      SetScrollPos( gridY.Handle, SB_VERT, HIWORD( Msg.wParam ), True );
   end;
end;

AND

procedure TForm1.GridxCustomWndProc( var Msg: TMessage );
begin
   if ( Msg.Msg = WM_VSCROLL ) then 
   begin
      gridY.SetActiveRow( gridX.GetActiveRow );
      gridY.Perform( Msg.Msg, Msg.wParam, Msg.lParam );
      SetScrollPos( gridY.Handle, SB_VERT, HIWORD( Msg.wParam ), True );
   end;
   inherited WndProc( Msg );
end;
